I'm sure this is video number 5ive from Fifty's Big 10 mixtape, the visuals are coming thick and fast generating momentum in trademark Gorilla Unit style. The videos are a lot better this time around compared to some of the accompanying visuals on the deluxe edition of The Massacre. I guess the count down has well and truly begun, but will 50 bring it round full circle and pick up where he left the music scene and turn 2012 into 2050??? Is he really the future like he predicted???

Christmas Dreams & New Year's Ambitions
"ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS.........???" |
So the Christmas season is coming to a close, most people are back to work already trying to get back all the P££'s they blew over the holidays that have left their pockets bone dry.
Singing "All I want for Christmas is......... " a bunch of meaningless shit that is nowhere close to the original sentiment doesn't get you anything of substance and quality, you'll probably just end up something that will be here today and gone in an hour. Did you give and get some of what you wished for and dreamed of??? We can't always get everything we want but one item or some of our little dream lists is better than none and what you didn't get leaves room for you to strive, work towards and achieve either for yourself or to give to someone close to ya which will make them feel loved and make a dream or two come true for them.
2012 is a few days away now and resolutions are starting to float around you know the usual type of shit like i'm gonna stop smoking 20 cigarettes a day. Resolutions are usually bullshit because most people don't have the dedication to see them through when it gets difficult and life's routines start to seduce you into a zone of pissy pet stress and a cheeeky somethin' somethin' of whatever it is your supposed to be cutting out is the only remedy to ease your stresses, they usually only last a few weeks then they fade and what you set out to do eventually disappears. So I was just chillin' in S&G HQ listening to some tunes and decided to change New Year Resolutions to New Year's Ambitions some goals to set and targets to reach for the New Year. I grabbed a pen and started jotting down some targets I achieved in 2011 and the list started getting rather big and I remember looking down and thinking dam I really did some shit this year. As I started penning some new goals and targets I also started brainstorming for this post. Why this particular photo??? I chose it because I felt it represented the predictable obvious shit that a lot of people wish for, another great piece from S Dot B by the way.
I know it's not hard to miss because the booty is right there but share this post with some of your friends and see how many of them notice booty whooty first before the photograph, skill & art??? Roll on 2012 we in for another positive and big year.
We want QUALITY people!!!
(don't mind me having a bit of a Diddy moment lol).

The Big 10 Two Thousand & Fiddy
I'm late with follow up posts, like I said I got sick so i'm just doing a bit of a catch up. You may have seen these already but if you haven't then click and enjoy if your a 50 Cent fan. I'm feeling the energy but will these ignite the momentum that leads to a world pause???
The body painted ladies are a nice touch quite creative could of been done slightly better for an official video but it's mixtape level stuff so in his word "WTF you want for FREE" The woman bouncing her Cherry Cushion off his face made me laugh Fif gives me jokes he's got a good sense of humor funny guy.

Christmas Holidays Are Coming
When you see this ad its an indication that the Christmas season is upon us and mad dashing around town/city centers everywhere will begin. So in about a week it's official gonna be Christmas the world will take a time out, well at least for the morning and when all presents are open for most Christmas is then done (shallow mu'f#*kers lol) and for others they will take the time to appreciate family friends and loved ones. I don't know how you feel but for me it doesn't even really seem like Christmas. The year has gone by fast i'm already in next year so this one day that everybody gets HYPED about is all done and dusted in my brain. More to come........

Size?
Premium Denim Air Force One - £90 |
On my way to the studio, I passed by Size? For a quick shop in search of an early Christmas pressie to myself, I saw this pair of Air Forces on the shelf. As soon as I clapped eyes on them I grabbed those bad boys straight away and stepped to the counter " do you have these in size........." the young lady goes away to check It seemed like she was gone for like half an hour but was really only about 3mins. "Sorry but the biggest size we have left is....." not mine, pissssssssed my face dropped at the reality of me not leaving with them today but I assure you my little shopaholics I will have them for my collection. You know them ones where you already got an outfit sitting in your wardrobe waiting for you to bring back that something that sets it off and takes it to another level, today was one of those moments.

The Big 10
This is supposed to be the big return of Mr Hustler's Ambition 50 Cent with some new co-stars and a firm grip slash focus on his music. I've had a listen and he has got some heat on there I really enjoyed my listens, excited to see the next moves. But question is will this mixtape be enough to make "The Shift" happen and translate in this new climate??? In my opinion I don't think it will straight away because there is not enough world wide universal bangers yet (notice the yet) and Fif hasn't layed down that consistency he is known for. There are a lot of if's um's but's and question marks, this is only the beginning though as the momentum builds i'm sure there will be a monster track that causes a shut down and makes everyone pause to pay attention.

Flava In My Ears
Here is some new music that is currently in rotation on my iPod. I get soooo much music on a daily basis from everywhere I couldn't imagine posting everything, but I will post what i'm listening to on my travels or what the Saculles & George team is listening to in the lab every couple of days. The spirit and soul that exists in music inspires us and hopefully some, if not all of what gets put up on here inspires you to set more of your own trends and create some amazing work.

Black Mirrors
I watched Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror last night the first installment of his new mini-series, there are three dramas in total each with its own twisted story this one being the first subtitled 'The National Anthem'. Was a good watch, twisted minds tend to think alike so my mind was entertained some daring stuff considering the plot. Which was a member of The Royal Family (completely fictional of course) is kidnapped by a terrorist and held for ransom, his demands came in the form of a YouTube Video. The only person who could save her life was the PM (prime minister). He didn't have to part with money to fulfill a list of predictable I wants, instead he had to have live televised sex........ With a pig!!!
Brooker's study of modern media was comical and ballsy sending newspapers crazy. The news rolled as it does bringing every update to television sets everywhere, with the public opinion swinging as it also does from one extreme to the next. You see Downing Street do its best to stomp out the story but that was never gonna work the gas and hype hit stride as everyone was round a TV for this must see grim shocker. There were salutes and hints to shows like Spooks and Dr Who, with a bundle of familiar faces if your TV drama game is up for example the Downton Abby chauffeur Branson. Neil's suspected gay dad from the Inbetweeners popped up in this more serious role. Rory Kinnear did a good job as the PM, wow what a way to have to man up or should I say down total kick in the seed. This line gave me jokes probably did the same for others watching "What now? What's the playbook?" to which his advisor said "This is virgin territory, prime minister. There is no play book." The S&G team have been watching a lot of ESPN and taking play book metaphors so this had me cracking up as reality started to sink in and the out come of the situation became clear in his head. Great twisted tale, look forward to the others.

G Frsh - Recording Artist & Entrepreneur
I was really impressed with G Frsh's interpretation of the movie "King's Speech" for his new video. Frsh got it on point through the whole thing he really makes use of his owning a production company, all his concepts and visions are well executed. The style,mood and reference to scenes in the movie are well captured and the clothing was well put together with traditional meeting G's young Frsh fly guy aura. You gonna be seeing more of him on my page, one of my favorite artists.

W'sup!!!
"What Up Gangsta pt.2"
Right!!! What!!! ~S*G*P*C*B~ Mu'f*#ker yeah i'm back!!! (hype talk over, it ain't even like that so don't get gassed) Anyways I haven't posted in a couple of days as you may or may not have noticed. Some of you did because I got ya e-mails about me posting more and how I can't miss a day. But I don't always have the time for multi-posts and with there not being enough hours in the day sometimes yeah I might miss a day or two, I do have creating to do you know which keeps the whole Saculles & George team BUSY!!!
Here's a new 50Cent sample to say w'sup, welcome back, the well known part.1 was on the highly successful Get Rich Or Die Tryin' album. Fifty has been away but still in touching distance of the hip hop scene. Recently he has been dropping tracks for his Street Kings project, and now this just to let us know what time it is in case we thought he completely fell off, got soft and got musically lost. In my opinion, and a lot of people I've spoken to on this agree that over the years Fifty has not been able to find his way to the hit factory due to the shift in the music scene I won't go into all that otherwise I ain't gonna finish this post. The track is good, banging beat and Fifty delivers his simple but effective raw punchlines with his trademark melody. The joint shows potential of Fifty returning in a big way let's see but for now listen and enjoy.

Mind Space
This picture illustrates what the inside of my mind feels like these days despite the everyday chaos that we get surrounded by in life. As my eyes gently open each day, I haven't had the usual struggle that most of us have. Fighting your alarm clock for that precious "five more minutes" which can be detrimental if five more minutes turns into one hour later. Which consequently results in a mad dash as if your were auditioning for Supermarket Sweep, trying to avoid being late by missing your bus or getting stuck in traffic swearing and giving the middle finger to every driver on the road moving too slow or not letting you through at a junction.
My mind being this free makes generating ideas so much easier and my future that much clearer. I've been feeling a shift in energy for the positive a shift that will grant me a key to open the door that rewards me for the pain, blood, sweat, tears and hard work. But to get this key my mind must remain in this space while the madness of life's conundrum continues to relentlessly challenge who I am and where I fit.

'Big Narstie' Best In Grime - Grime Report
Been a fan of Narstie's big man charisma, for a while he always gives me jokes with his content. When I came across this recent bit of footage from the Grime Report I liked the delivery and had to post it even though he messed up and "went blank rude boy ahahahahahahaha!!!" Funny guy, his material is not fully understood by the masses but he's been going in for ages.

Quotes Of Wisdom
I've chosen two quotes this time that come from 'Steve Stoute'
a power player in the behind the scenes of Hip Hop.
He is an entrepreneur, successful marketer and pop culture revolutionary. I decided to use these quotes because it confirms why we have taken our time in laying down a strong foundation for Saculles & George to be built upon. I will do another post possibly tomorrow or maybe even later on this evening based around His Tanning Effect and how it is something that we naturally paid attention to at Saculles & George thanks to Hip Hop culture which will serve us well in the future with our empire.

Miss Jane Got Me Feelin' So Ooooooooo.
I woke up this morning with a bunch of things on my mind (as per usual) plus a stupidly long list of objectives, meetings etc. But this past weekend was so crazy in the lab with creating, partying and some other moments of madness I am still feeling the hangover effect way more than normal. And as much as I wanted to complete all the shit I had lined up, dam I am so lethargic right now and after about five tasks I started to feel like "I got 5ive on it" and smoked myself into a coma. I'm probably just a bit exhausted from playing hard and working way too much. With all my meetings taken care of I went back to the apartment and crashed out and just chilled, I plugged in my ipod and the first song to play was this joint by Bow Wow and I felt it hit the nail on the head.
Miss Mary Jane is a bad mu'fu#*er shut yo mouth!!!

Judgement Day Jack Move (Pacquiao VS Marquez part III)
OK I know I said my next blog would be Monday morning but I couldn't leave this any longer. Like I mentioned in a previous post our Saculles and George team love a piece of boxing. Last nights PPV main event had all of us a bit passionately vex when the final decision was announced in the Pacquiao vs Marquez fight.
So Michael Buffer does his thing and starts announcing the judges score cards, "114-114...... 115-113........." At this point i'm like huh whaaaattt!!!!! ok then that judge fell asleep somewhere and then comes the last score card 116-112 followed by "......and still WBO......" by now I was hearing blaaaa blaaaa bullshit what the f#*k was that then I notice Beautiful Day (Cold Play) playing then I start thinking to myself how is it a beautiful day for Juan Manuel Marquez??? A man who has just had his efforts and honor shit on. A very controversial ending to the 36 round seven year trilogy.
The boos from the crowd were louder than the ones Mayweather received a couple months back when he knocked out Victor Ortiz unsportsmanlike for a previous headbutt. Everyone feels the judges were wrong. I'm not an expert judge but when I watch the fight again the points may add up but for right now whatever, the heart, soul and honor of Marquez says different.
The decision is clearly not Pacquiao's fault, from the look on his face even he didn't expect to win and looked equally surprised as the disgust multiplied by disappointment hit Marquez harder than any punch Manny Pacquiao had thrown his way all night. Saculles posted his feelings on our facebook page (www.facebook.com/sgdesigns27), Saculles being Pinoy called the Philippines immediately and the feeling in the Barrio' and his post are the same "I'm Pinoy but even I know Pacquiao didn't win that fight FACT!!! There needs to be a fourth fight so no more Mayweather talk.-saculles"
I spoke to Saculles this morning and he was saying with the feeling being what it is for Congressman Pacquiao to return to his native land he must first do right by Jaun Manuel Marquez before retaining the title of 'The People's Champ' love honor & respect for the art of boxing and the simple pride of a man let alone the pride of the whole nation they need Pacquiao vs Marquez IV to make it right. He went on to say salute to both fighters despite the decision that rocked the boxing world.
Politics & Controversy Hmmmmmmm part IV Hmmmmmmm??? Let's see how they spin this now.....???

Koke is Home
New Roc Nation artist K. Koke has been released from prison, I won't focus on the negative and start going into his business because those things are not always good to highlight. The main thing is that the Stonebridge rapper is home and can get back to making music which is the path I know he would rather be on, when good makes itself visible evil is right there presenting itself too. Look forward to hearing new material from this guy.
TiVo Top Boy
The script was simple but well delivered to us accompanied with solid acting. As Kane 'Knao' Robinson's first performance on screen I felt he did a real good job in playing a hot headed hyped up wannabe East End Top Boy. Schorcher gave a strong performance as the neighborhood stick up man, very standard but believable and realistic at the same time would of liked to of seen a bit more to his story as he was a big part of Summer House. Can't go into everything single character Dris, Gem, Lee etc and break them all down way too longlike but like I said everyone delivered solid performances. A lot of people talking about these two most in particular because they are very current and big in the music scene so chose to highlight them, job well done all round. The scene with the younger taking a crap behind some bins again't a tree while on look out gave me jokes great illustration of being caught short many of us know them belly noises, don't know about you lot but I've always made it to a loo that is officially known as bog when i'm out and about. The Asher.D and Bobby.R head shot scene was well executed, Ashley did great job in his role the acting experience shows good growth in mentality, emotions and levels was on point.
This post is going on a bit now so i will wrap it up because i know most people are not reading an entire essay on this program, it's a good watch would be cool to see it developed with a few more seasons before all "The Wire" comparisons because it's not close to that level depth, plots and characters but there is potential. If you missed it check my other Top Boy posts for the channel 4 link.

Sneak Peaks
R.I.P Smokin' Joe
The team at Saculles & George love themselves a bit of boxing, so I felt I would take a moment to salute a great hero, legend and icon to many in and out of the boxing world. Joe Frazier was born January 12th 1944 and was the 11th child to his parents he passed away November 7th 2011, sources report that Frazier was diagnosed with liver cancer back in late September. Smokin' Joe finished his career with 32-4-1 with 27 knockouts. when you watch him fight he really came out smoking for real and opponents have said that if you hit him he enjoyed it and gave props and if you knocked him down that would just get him pissed and even more smoking.

Remember The Times (90's Hip Hop Inspiration)
This era to us is Hip Hop's greatest, when an Mc's level of skill determined whether or not they deserved platinum sales. Too many great artists and moments to mention and by going into them all, the point of the post will be completely missed. Anyways in the 90's Album artwork was just as important as the actual recorded music.
There are more than a thousands words in any photograph, and the artwork in the those jewel cases have conversations that you can back and fourth ages. They give visuals to the way of life that artists were walking and a feel of the environments they were coming from. And as well as music videos album artwork then was also a catwalk for the must haves in street fashion from east-coast to west coast.
Saculles & George got together with photographer Dean Lewis from Mean Dean Photography for this 90's Hip Hop inspired photo-shoot.
